Thoughts on Graffiti?

My first tag was really good: I wrote "Soggy" in the tunnel near Dinkytown in chalk and fruit/vegetable drinks, with rainbows around it.
 
Been fuckin around with painting for a little under two years. I’m really not visually artistic but one of my homies got me started with a markall and I was hooked. I was struggling bigtime with paint but after hitting my blackbook heavy I’ve been making progress.

My motivation is mostly to combat gentrification and try to bring down the value of places with my rather vulgar alias. I love the adrenaline rush, the smell of paint and I just find it hilarious to write swampass wherever I can. So far I’m in Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto and New Orleans.

Well at my grandma's old house, there is an abandoned house and me and my friends would go there and see what we can find. People drew all types of things everywhere in there. there was this huge hole in the middle of the old kitchen and it stunk like mold. There was also this doll that my friends brother spray painted black and threw onto the roof of the house, good times...I kinda miss them lol
 
personally ive always thought a buffing job would be fucking fun/funny. id laugh all the way to the bank knowing someone will just come back and do it again.
 
Man, I love graffiti. Whenever we'd get caught at a train crossing with a really done up train, pops would call it a traveling art show.

When I was a kid I tried to figure out some designs but I wasn't very good at it, never tried my hand with spray paint tho
